Named a "Hot Spot" by Boston Magazine in the January
2006 issue. "This Brookline fave lures locals on even the most frigid
evening with its cheery staff and glorious fire."
Boston Magazine, January 2006
Named a "Great Date"
by Stuff@Night Magazine in their January 20, 2005 issue.
"It's refreshing to find a grill that embraces the regional

for the sake of botched realism...meat lovers will be stoked"
Michael Brodeur, Weekly Dig, November 2005
"Chef/Owner Jim Solomon's passion for food is quite evident at his New England style grill serving "homey" yet elegant dishes in a pleasant, warm, neighborhood atmosphere." www.bostonusa.com
